How to Choose the Right PA System ?

As a performing musician you want a PAsystem that can deliver your sound with clarity and definition. But with so many different pieces of equipment designed for different live performance needs, it can be difficult to know just what it is you should be looking for.

Certainly, there are a lot of variables to consider when choosing a PA. For instance, you'll need to think about the size of your audience, where your performances will be, how portable you need your system to be and how much money you can invest.

This guide will help walk you through these and other important considerations to help you find the gear that's right for you, whether you're buying your first PA system or looking to add equipment to your existing system.

In short, a PA system—more formally, public address system, and also known as a sound reinforcement system—is an electronic amplification system used to get sound from the performer(s) to the audience. It's made up of several components, and while one system can vary greatly from the next, each one handles these same basic functions:

1.    Converting acoustic sound into electronic signals, most often with microphones or line inputs.

2.    Processing and mixing these electronic signals, using mixing boards and effects modules

3.    Amplifying signals with a power amp

4.    Delivering the sound through speakers

5.    Monitoring the performance with speakers or in-ear monitors

Different PA equipment will have different capabilities, features, and designs associated with each of these functions. Your specific needs will determine what you want out of each.
